“What makes The Bitter Housewife, bitter?” Being told an Old Fashioned shouldn’t have a cherry in it. An eye roll because I ask for cheap bourbon and a perfect ice cube. Drinks shouldn’t have rules. We’re here to let you off the hook and encourage you to embrace what you like. You can’t stand the taste of whiskey, there’s no shame in that. Prefer your wine in a juice glass? Me too! You don’t drink alcohol at all? We support that. The Bitter Housewife was created for me and my whiskey-drinking friends. We don’t want to be talked down to and we don’t want to be told what we like isn’t “correct”. I don't believe cocktails should be intimidating or that you need a whole new vocabulary to talk about them. I believe in great taste, real ingredients, and fun. It is cocktails after all. Let’s be bitterly honest.

Hardcover Book - 416 pages

Dr. Kevin Peterson, co-founder of Sfumato, explores cocktails from the perspectives of an engineer, a perfumer, and a bar owner. Cocktail Theory - A Sensory Approach to Transcendent Drinks is a detailed look at the theory and philosophy behind the Detroit cocktail bar, Castalia, that operates as a Sfumato's brick and mortar by day, but by night transforms to serve scent-paired drinks.

Using data visualization and experimental results, Kevin makes a case for breaking cocktails into their individual sensory components, optimizing each aspect, then putting the pieces back together for an ideal drink. Cocktail Theory is approachable for home bartenders and professionals alike.

Flavor principles are accompanied by recipes that have graced Castalia’s menus, along with practical tips for executing elevated drinks at home. Cocktails are placed in the context of a larger experience, and supported by exercises to improve your palate, allowing you to transcend recipes and understand why certain drinks work, or not.

Castalia has been featured in the New York Times, Imbibe, Vinepair, and the Wall Street Journal, and Cocktail Theory is an in-depth look at what makes scented cocktails work.

(From Kevin) If a book about how to create scent-paired cocktails existed, I just would have read it, like I’ve read literally hundreds of other books about cocktails. If there was a single, concise source for integrating knowledge about the sensory system into creating optimal flavors, I would own it. But as I was working on creating peak experiences at Castalia, I kept bumping up against questions I couldn't find answers for. Or answers I had to search so meticulously for that it consumed me. So, just as I did when I was an engineer, I started designing experiments, sought out expertise, and analyzed a massive amount of data to build a conceptual model that describes the perfect drink.  And after almost 4 years, countless hours, and as much coffee as cocktails, I've captured that work in a book.

Products made of olive wood are something very special and they stay that way if you take a little care of them.

Note: Do not wash Olive Wood in the dishwasher as this will fade the wood and make the product faded, rough, and brittle over time.

This concrete work is all individually hand cast from custom made rubber molds. Colors are integrally mixed into the concrete and results in each piece being unique. We use recycled materials and are able to create a finished product 30% lighter than traditional concrete.
